Meet Levi Masterson…
I’ve never had a problem with the ladies. I’ve got all the right equipment and I know how to use it.
But my life just landed in a blender and my head is still spinning. So when Harlow Hartley comes jackknifing into my world like a tornado, I try to steer clear. She’s my sister’s best friend. She’s having a tough time right now, and I was asked to let her move in with me until she can get on her feet. With Low at the house, dripping with attitude, dancing around in those tight jeans, that T-shirt that stretches in all the right places, I’m ready to lose what’s left of my mind. Sure she’s beautiful and smart, but she’s mouthy and feisty as can be. As tempted as I am to try to land my mouth over hers, my sister made it clear that Low is off limits. As much as I’d like to think that’s a good thing, I can’t seem to shake the need to have her. Maybe it’s time to scratch that itch—something quick and dirty that takes the edge off for the both of us and we can call it a day. But nothing in life is ever that simple—sometimes your heart gets in the way.

SOME ARE WORTH KILLING FOR
As the head of Swedish Intelligence in Brussels, Bente Jensen has many enemies, even among those who ought to be her allies - such as Jonathan Green of MI6.
In a city heaving with competing espionage agencies, he is the person she fears and distrusts most.
She has good reason.
They share a past.
Green has been part of an MI6 conspiracy to hold, interrogate, torture, and kill its political prisoners in a safe house in Syria.
This explosive information has been leaked to Bente by a conscience-stricken British operative.
When it is clear she can expose this operation, MI6 uses its full arsenal of dirty tricks to shame her, disgrace her, destroy her relationships, and remove her from active service.
But Green's private life has more in common with Bente's than he cares to admit.

Both spies will find themselves targets of the UK establishment's precisely calculated revenge.
Like its highly acclaimed predecessor Into A Raging Blaze, Andreas Norman's new novel is a morally and politically complex international thriller.
Its nail-biting plot and sympathetic characters show the tragic human consequences of private and public treachery. Views: 600
